A self portrait in a simple definition is a portrait of an artist produced by that artist, and that will be the next unit. Self portraits have been around for a long time, though it wasn't until the Early Renissancce that one can make out the artist in the picture. Jan Van Eyck "of 1433 may well be the earliest known panel self-portrait." Self portraiture became increasingly popular during the renaissance due to more wealth and interest in being the individual subject.
